The Vintage Arms Association (VAA) was established in 1973 for the purpose of encouraging the collection, study, and use of all vintage firearms, including muzzle and breech loaders, rifles, pistols, shotguns and airguns.

The Association fosters an interest in, and use of, all vintage and modern firearms and we promote shooting by means of a comprehensive calendar of shooting dates and structured probation and training programmes for new and inexperienced shooters.

Shooting, including competitions, for both vintage and modern firearms (both full bore and small bore) are held throughout the year at the following Ranges:

Barton Rd, Cambridgeshire (100 to 600 metres)

Bisley, Surrey (50 to 1000 yards)

Horsford, near Norwich (up to 100 metres)

Shrubland, near Ipswich (up to 40 metres)

Crabbe Range, Jersey (20 to 200 yards)

New members are welcome, and more details can be found on our website:  www.vintagearms.org.uk
